About the author

Nick became a scientist so that he could build starships. Unfortunately, his ship is taking longer to build than he'd hoped, so fictional starships will have to do for now. When he's not adding to his starship collection, you can find him tweeting and facebooking about Nasa, science, space, SciFi, and quoting Star Trek II.
He lives in western Washington.

This book opens with such a gripping opening as a fairly ordinary guy, following his normal job, enters the spaceport of Io, and then using the equipment there, sets off an explosive that rips the moon to pieces, killing everyone on the colony, and sending a message that the Telestines can now destroy planets if they want.
This is not just another star ships in space book, this is an incredibly in-depth story that looks at the motivations of Political, Cultural, Financial, Religious and Military beliefs and their impacts on war.
This is such a wonderfully realistic look at how things play out from a multitude of different views. As humanity fights for its very existence, the best are not leading, it is about political and religious decisions, or financial backing. Webb does a brilliant job of describing how the Military struggle with every aspect of their role, again hindered by Political and Financial constraints, even though their very future depends on it.
The other aspect of Nick Webb’s work is the technical skill. Nick’s background means that he understands what he is writing about, researches it correctly, and writes it as an appropriate subject matter expert, because he does have a lot of experience in what he writes. It gives his writing, his stories, even his characters a level of authenticity, and standout from other’s in the genre.
In this, the 2nd of the series, Walker is struggling to keep her exile fleet together under tough opposition, both from within and without. As she fights to keep control of the fleet, Pike continues to learn more about his new friend, but with the discovery that drones can be used as weapons, no one is sure of what she is capable of, or if she can be trusted. The Sisters of Ascension take a bigger role in this book as well, and it was interesting getting to read more of their background. It is definitely clear that there is more going on in the Telestine camp than we think – book 3 is going to be very interesting!
This is a desperate hour for Humanity in their fight, it is very obvious that this was the ‘Empire Strikes Back’ of the series as the Rebellion was not doing well.
There are a couple of really cool things as usual – there are so many Easter Eggs in Nick’s book that it would be an awesome drinking game – sit around with a bunch of people and listen to the Audible version and you have to drink (Blue Milk of course) when you pick up a reference!.
I also have to acknowledge that Nick Webb is true to his word as well. He states in his emails that he will name characters etc after you if you do reviews – and he does – Carina station was named after my wife – and a big thanks Nick!!
This is a great read though, with some awesome ship to ship combat, good political intrigue, brilliant characters, and a gripping story in which humanity is fighting for their very existence.
Which leads to one of the reasons I like Webb's books: the interpersonal relationships between the characters really pull me into the story. The characters are the lifeblood of the story. They are complex, well-drawn and the reader can feel either empathetic or strong dislike - depending on the character, whether they are 'good' or 'bad'.
Overall, Webb has written a well-plotted, complex and layered story with plenty of action and dramatic moments. Readers do need to be aware that the story is something of a puzzle (I like a good puzzle myself) and you will need to keep track of different events because it all slots together and explains the twists and turns in the book. There is a bigger picture starting to emerge by the end. (a cryptic hint for future readers of this series: just remember 'good' can sometimes be relative and flexible according to your pov).
Now wishing I had the next book in my hot little hands…(sigh)…so looking forward to the next book :)
This is part 2 of a trilogy, and as soon as I finish this review I’m going to start book 3.
There are a couple of places where the author’s syntax could be better, but the cliffhanger he left here is a doozy.
Read the books in order or you will be hopelessly lost.
I’m not going to give away the plot, beyond saying that mankind got evicted from Earth. Now Some want it back.
